foliage

Ground cover grown by the GPU (no object per blade): lawn grass with real blades, meadows with wild flowers, flower beds, clover, pebbles, fallen leaves, reeds, ferns, weeds. Grows on this object's mesh or terrain, on the object named in `on`, or on a flat `area`; painted density, erase/trample strokes and scatter rules (leaves under trees, weeds by walls). Sways in the wind; thins and fades with distance.

In scene text

foliage { kind "…"  on "…"  area (0, 1, 0) }

Add it in the Inspector (Add Component), in scene text as above, or ask your AI. Fields you leave out keep their defaults.

Fields 26

Field	Type	Unit / range	What it does
`kind`	text	—	.
`on`	text	—	The object it grows on (exact name); empty: this object's mesh, or `area`.
`area`	(x, y, z)	m	Flat patch (x by z meters) centred here, when there is no mesh and no `on`.
`density`	number	per m2, 0 … 400	Plants per square meter before painting and distance thinning.
`height`	number	m, 0.01 … 4	Average height.
`color_root`	colour (r, g, b)	—	Base color (sRGB).
`color_tip`	colour (r, g, b)	—	Tip color (sRGB).
`accents`	list of text	—	Petal colors "r g b" (sRGB 0...1) for flowers and meadows; empty: the kind's palette.
`dryness`	number	0 … 1	Dry straw through broad patches.
`patchiness`	number	0 … 1	Clumps and bare patches.
`wind`	number	0 … 3	Sway strength (with the scene's wind).
`distance`	number	m, 5 … 150	Grows out to this far from the camera.
`seed`	number	0 … 1.67772e+07	Placement variation.
`style`	text	—	realistic, or cartoon (chunky toon tufts).
`under_trees`	number	0 … 1	Rule: more of it under tree and bush crowns (leaf litter, shade plants).
`sways`	true / false	—	Kind mesh: the models sway in the wind like plants (ferns, herbs); off, they lie still (litter).
`by_walls`	number	0 … 1	Rule: more of it in a strip along walls, fences and rocks (weeds).
`by_water`	number	0 … 1	Rule: more of it along shores, just above the water (reeds, pebbles).
`only_rules`	true / false	—	Grows only where a rule calls for it.
`in_clearings`	number	0 … 1	Forest rule: keeps to the forests' clearings and meadows, none under their canopy (meadow grass, flowers).
`under_forest`	number	0 … 1	Forest rule: keeps to the ground under the forests' canopy, none in their clearings (leaf litter, ferns, fallen branches).
`patch_size`	number	m, 0 … 200	Noise clumping: size of the patches it grows in; 0 = the kind's own.
`scale_by_noise`	number	0 … 1	Plants grow bigger toward a patch's middle, smaller at its edge.
`mesh`	text	—
`align_to_slope`	number	0 … 1	Kind mesh: how far pieces tilt to lie on a slope.
`atlas`	text	—
